Abstract
In the last few years, international student mobility has been disrupted not only by the global health crisis resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic but also adversely affected by the rise of geopolitics. The worsening relationship between China and its western counterparts led by the US and its allies has significantly influenced students' motivation and plan for overseas education. Based upon interviews with 75 students from leading universities in China Mainland, this article examines how Chinese elite students evaluate the impact of the new geopolitics on their overseas studies plans. This article critically reflects upon international student mobility from the broader political economy perspective, discussing the policy implications for future international education.
